Researchers expect the organs will help with understanding how viruses infect the placenta.

Learn how implementing a SMART approach in stem cell manufacturing can lead to improved efficiency and cost reduction for the production of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) used in the treatment of osteoarthritic and autoimmune conditions.

A tiny device built by scientists at MIT and the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology could be used to improve the safety and effectiveness of cell therapy treatments for patients suffering from spinal cord injuries.

Some hereditary genetic defects cause an exaggerated immune response that can be fatal. Using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool, such defects can be corrected, thus normalizing the immune response, as researchers led by Klaus Rajewsky from the Max Delbrück Center now report in "Science Immunology."

The neurons that make up our brains and nervous systems mature slowly over many months.

Many cancer therapies, in addition to producing numerous side effects, fail to achieve complete tumour remission, partly due to the presence of cancer stem cells, which are difficult to eradicate.

A new therapeutic for stroke based on University of Georgia research will soon enter clinical trials.

In Alzheimer’s, compromised energy production harms nerve cells, leading to synaptic breakdown and memory loss.

A Chicago woman received her deceased father's stem cells after he died, helping her see for the first time in many years, according to local reports.

Nerve cells in the brain demand an enormous amount of energy to survive and maintain their connections for communicating with other nerve cells.
